"Da Shan Yu, please give an order!" The Huns' Shan Yu was in the court, and King Lu Hou blushed, unable to suppress his anger. "You must give the people of the Han Dynasty a little color!"

"The Han Dynasty people took in Wusun ****, and it was clear that they didn't put me in the eyes of the Great Huns!" Freshly baked, Yin Zhixian, who had not been sitting in the position of the Right Xian King for a long time, also said murderously: "Please Da Danyu order to the kings of Xiu Tu, Kun Xie, Lou Fu, Lu Hou and Donghu to fully mobilize, send a large army to take Taiyuan from Yanmen Pass, and have another battle of Pingcheng!" ”

Nearly 60 years ago, the situation in China changed dramatically.

Han Wangxin of the Han Dynasty surrendered to the Xiongnu and started to borrow the Xiongnu soldiers and play the emperor's routine.

At the same time, the old nobles of the old Zhao State also supported a puppet, claiming to be the King of Zhao, and rebelled against the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, with the help of the leading party, the Hun cavalry drove straight into the city smoothly, occupied Juzhu and Taiyuan, and approached the city of Jinyang.

This was the first and last direct threat to the survival of China by the Xiongnu.

After that, the Xiongnu no longer had the ability to penetrate so far into the heart of China and occupy fortified cities like Taiyuan and Jinyang.

Therefore, the battle of Pingcheng is the pride of the Huns.

In the past, whenever a Han envoy arrived or the Xiongnu planned to invade the south, the Battle of Pingcheng would be recalled.

This was both to cheer himself up and to intimidate the envoys of the Han Dynasty.

The military minister raised his eyes and looked at Yin Zhixian, who was full of righteous indignation, eager to lead the cavalry and capture Yin Zhixian in Chang'an.

Since the appointment of Yin Zhixian as the king of Youxian, the attitude of the military ministers towards him is obvious, basically when there is no such person.

But Yin Zhixian didn't know at all.

And. Jumping harder and harder every time.

The military ministers naturally knew that Yin Zhixian was buying people's hearts.

The Han and Hungarians had decades of exchanges.

In the high-level of the Huns. More or less, they have learned some knowledge of the Han Dynasty.

The last two or three years. Sino-Hungarian trade surged.

Many specialties and commodities of the Han Dynasty entered the Xiongnu through the border city.

The warlord picked up a wine glass made from the head of a baby that was placed in front of him.

It contains sake imported from the Han Dynasty.

The military minister took a slight sip, and in his mouth, the aroma of wine immediately overflowed, and it was extremely refreshing.

Pick up some more cheese from the tray, put it in your mouth and chew it.

The rich milky aroma immediately fills the mouth. Whet his appetite.

But alas......

The military minister bowed his head, this cheese, like wine, was an imported commodity.

"The people of the Han Dynasty are really smart!" The military minister sighed inwardly.

These cheeses began to flow into the Xiongnu more than a year ago, and at first, they only circulated among the tribes near the border, and then, slowly. It spread to the tribes of Hetao, Hexi, Qilian and Yinshan, and finally even Shan Yuting began to pursue this cheese produced in the Han Dynasty.

Right now. The bulk commodities that the Xiongnu imported from the Han Dynasty every year have changed from tea and corn to tea and cheese.

Cheese is a little bit of a gadget. Seemingly unremarkable.

And, everybody knows it. How it's made.

The Xiongnu also had a similar cheese-making technology, which was nothing more than fresh milk from various livestock such as mare's milk, goat's milk, and milk. It is fermented and then steamed.

But the problem was that the Xiongnu lacked enough utensils to cook fresh milk.

Precious bronze and a small number of imported iron pots were in the hands of the nobles of the tribe.

Ordinary herdsmen can only use some enamel products made by shoddy techniques.

And the Huns, not so much an empire built on horseback, were built on the fresh milk of all kinds of livestock.

The vast majority of the Xiongnu herders, although year after year, were grazing.

But they have only a handful of opportunities to eat meat throughout their lives.

In the Xiongnu, in addition to the warriors who fought, the old and young women and children and the grazing slaves, their daily staple food was all kinds of food made from fermented fresh milk.

Chief among them are cheese and milk wine.

Even, when the army went on an expedition, the rations carried by the cavalry were all kinds of dairy products.

The fresh milk of livestock, like the crops on the land of the Han Dynasty in the south, was the key to maintaining the survival of the Xiongnu Empire.

The Huns could never go without meat, but not for a day without cheese and mare's milk.

But now, the Han Dynasty in the south has also surpassed the Xiongnu in terms of cheese-making technology and craftsmanship.

They make cheese that is sweet and tasty, and easy to preserve for a long time.

Unlike the Xiongnu cheese, because the production process is not up to standard or the fermentation is not thorough, the shelf life is often only one month.

As Shan Yu, who has been by the side of Lao Shangshan Yu since he was a child, fought in the south and the north, and grew up in the war, the military minister knows very well what the appearance of this kind of cheese that can be preserved for a long time means.

This means that the Han Dynasty people were active on the grassland for a longer time than the Hun cavalry.

They could even stay away from logistical baggage troops and go deep into the vast savannah for several months before returning to the Great Wall.

The Huns, on the other hand, were subject to logistical problems.

This is a very dangerous sign.

Therefore, in the past, military ministers have spared no effort, even at all costs, to import all kinds of bronze and iron tools from the Han Dynasty.

Especially the iron pot and the bronze tripod.

Both of these utensils are indispensable tools for processing cheese.

However, relying only on imports could not solve the dilemma faced by the Xiongnu.

It was also impossible for the Han Dynasty to supply the Xiongnu with bronze and iron tools without restrictions.

"That's why we have to take Dawan at all costs!" The military minister said to himself in his heart.

Dawan, this is a distant kingdom that was not originally on the Huns' prey list.

It wasn't until more than a year ago that it suddenly appeared in the sight of the Huns.

Then, by sending detailed reconnaissance, the military minister found that this country with a population of hundreds of thousands actually has a large number of craftsmen!

In particular, there are many craftsmen who can produce all kinds of enamel products and bronze.

If you can conquer Dawan, you can obtain the bronze production technology of the Dawan people, especially those craftsmen.

The Huns will be able to get out of the current predicament. Get it with the large-scale bronze manufacturing techniques it requires.

As for the Han Dynasty in the south?

Just think of the dense fortress at the foot of the Great Wall. The military minister felt a little brain pain.

In the past few decades, the Han Dynasty told the Xiongnu with blood. Want to come in? Break a few teeth first, and then want to get out? It's not that easy!

The military minister tried it himself.

Five years earlier, he had commanded 40,000 cavalry and invaded the Han Dynasty in the south.

As a result, more than a thousand corpses were left behind, and thousands of wounded soldiers were brought back.

The things that were caught were pitiful.

I'm almost going to lose money!

It was since then that the military ministers swore that they would not go to the foot of the Great Wall if they were killed. It's no fun to talk to yourself.

What's more, the scale of the cavalry of today's Han army is not small.

Unless the Xiongnu are fully mobilized and pull out all their forces, it is possible to gain the upper hand in the war.

But......

After the Battle of Pingcheng, the Xiongnu had already made up their minds not to do such stupid things again!

More than 400,000 cavalry, millions of cattle, a year-long bitter battle.

In the end, it was changed to a peace treaty......

And the bitter cold in the north of the Han Dynasty. It also made the Huns suffer.

"You Xianwang wants to fight?" The military minister stood up and sneered and said, "Then you might as well try it......"

If Yin Zhi really led the troops south, the military ministers would have laughed out loud in their dreams.

The iron walls of the Great Wall will definitely break Yin Zhi's head and bleed.

Then, he justifiably disadvantage the battle. was accused of humiliating the country, and he was deposed to Beihai and went to herd sheep with the Bank of China!

Even if it's just in case. Yin Zhixian was particularly lucky, and he ran into a general of the Han Dynasty who was brainless. The emperor was stupid, and he opened a hole. An unprecedented victory.

That's even better!

There is no need to go west!

Grab the bitter haha of the west, there's a fart!

The place where you can really eat is still in the Great Wall in the south!

The grain hoarded and stored in any county within the Great Wall, as well as all kinds of gold and silver treasures, bronze and iron tools, were enough for the whole Xiongnu to eat for three or five years!

If Chang'an can be occupied, then the Xiongnu will not need to graze for the rest of their lives, and they can live a life like gods.

Under this premise, there will be no contradiction between the military minister and Yin Zhixian, they will only cooperate closely until they occupy Chang'an and enter China.

Going south is an impulse that has been engraved in the genes of all the peoples on the steppe since ancient times.

But......

It's impossible.

Especially as the Han Dynasty began to grow stronger, the combat effectiveness of the army began to improve, and this fantasy has truly become a fantasy.

Yin Zhixian was choked by the military minister, and he suddenly turned a little red.

"Da Dan Yu, the Han Dynasty blatantly sheltered Wusun ****, and made it clear that he did not put the Great Huns in his eyes, if he is not punished, in the future, the countries and vassal tribes of the Western Regions will probably be separated from Germany!" Lan Tuoxin, one of the military ministers' doglegs, stood up and said.

Since he was ordered to send the Beihai clan to the Han Dynasty two years ago, the future patriarch of the Lan clan has become one of the most dominant nobles in the Shan Yu court.

He sowed the threat theory of the Han Dynasty everywhere in Shan Yuting all day long, and he also attracted a group of supporters.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was quite respectful to himself, the military minister would have thrown this guy who was buzzing in his ears all day long ago to Beihai.

The hostility and threat of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu were not only three or five people in the court.

Do you need to shout all day long?

However, this time Landosin was right.

If the Han Dynasty blatantly sheltered Wusun ****, it would not have received any punishment.

Wouldn't this single court's prestige be disgraced?

In the future, why should he, Shan Yu, order all the ministries to be the co-master of this grassland?

When the old Shangdan Yu resolutely led the main force of the Xiongnu to the south near the Great Wall, he fought with the Han Dynasty for more than a year, and even refused to retreat after losing a large household and thousands of soldiers.

Isn't it because there are a few Xiongnu nobles who ran to the Han Dynasty to ask for asylum and lose face?

It's a pity that the Huns went south with 180,000 cavalry, and in the end, it was the result of a battle of Pingcheng.

After the loss of troops, it was also replaced by a treaty of mutual recognition and recognition of the spheres of influence of both sides.

Back then, the Xiongnu Empire under the command of Lao Shangdan was still helpless against the Han Dynasty.

The military minister does not think that he is better than his father.

So, looking at the Great Wall, the military minister touched his teeth.

He didn't want to have a few teeth broken, but he couldn't get anything.

Instead of going to the foot of the Great Wall to hit your head and break the bloodstream, it is better to go to the West to make a fortune.

This is the thinking of most nobles in the court at present.

However, the current situation is that the king of Xianbei reported that the Han Dynasty people will take the enemies of the Xiongnu, those damned Wusun ****, to the Great Wall to give shelter.

This is equivalent to slapping Shan Yuting in the face a few times, and stepping on his head a few times in front of the entire grassland.

If you don't retaliate, you can't justify it.

You must know that the Xiongnu Empire can rule these tens of thousands of miles of boundless grasslands, control the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and make the whole world obey its will.

It relies on brutality and bloodshed to deter all internal and external enemies.

When Wusun resisted, he uprooted Wusun, and hunted the head of the righteous brother of the old Shangshan Yu, all of which were made into wine vessels and placed in the Shan Yu court for people to drink and have fun.

With naked blood, let all the subjugating tribes obediently hand over the tribute on time.

If the Han Dynasty blatantly sheltered the Wusun people this time, Shan Yuting would not say anything.

Isn't that telling everyone that the Xiongnu were afraid of the Han Dynasty.

In that case, not to mention anything else, the grass and small tribes near the Great Wall, as well as the bandits and untouchables hiding in the mountains, will probably fall to the Han Dynasty.

is now the pillar of the Xiongnu Empire, such as the white sheep, Lou Fu, Kunxi, Xiu Tu and other big tribes, I am afraid that they will also have their own small abacus in their hearts.

In the steppe, it is difficult to be a hegemon.

It must remain strong, brutal, and cold-blooded at all times.

Let all the younger brothers see it clearly, carefully and carefully, and let all the allies and internal mountains know that Shan Yu's status and prestige cannot be provoked.

Failure to do so will lead to the collapse of an empire, no matter how powerful.

"What should you think of it?" After a moment of silence, the military minister asked Lan Tuoxin.

"Big Order!" Lan Tuoxin stood up very excitedly, he walked to the tent, and said to the military ministers: "The slave knows that the Great Wall is an iron wall, and my Hun cavalry is difficult to cross!" But ......"

Lan Tuoxin raised his head and looked at the leaders of the various tribes and the patriarchs of the various clans in the tent, and said loudly: "There is still a place in the Han Dynasty, which is definitely not within the protection of the Great Wall!" Moreover, the Han Dynasty will definitely be saved! ”

Decades of Han-Hungarian wars and tug-of-war left many Han Dynasty cities and villages exposed to the protection of the Great Wall.

And the Han Dynasty people were also at the foot of the Great Wall, attracting many tribes who did not deal with the court, and let them graze where to serve as outposts and early warnings of the Great Wall.

But these cities and villages exposed outside the Great Wall, the speed with which the Han Dynasty people gave up during the war is jaw-dropping.

Once the traces of the main Xiongnu force were discovered, the troops, tribes, and populations of these cities would all quickly withdraw to the Great Wall.

Then, the Huns could only look at the fortress of the Great Wall and sigh.

However, there was a city, which was exposed to the defenses of the Great Wall.

Moreover, it is indeed a strategic point that the Han Dynasty must rescue!

The military minister stood up and spat out the name of the city: "Mayi! (To be continued.) )
